4. In a rotary engine, the eombination ol' a oppositely-disposed inlet and outlet openings communicating with said chamber and ar i ranged in the upper portion ol' the said easing, a centrallydisposed piston arranged in 2o said casing and having; a shalt integrally projecting froni'the center thereof and eoniieeted thereto,v a fixed hub extendingv eeeeiitrieally through the piston and also havingq the g shaft projecting eeeentrieally therethrough, a

25 series of arms arranged in eeeentrie relation 1 to the shaft and movable around the latter i and the hub, the said arms beine radially controlling the movement in opposite direetions of the piston, and pipes leadingr from I the valve meehanisni to the inlet and outlet i openings, said valve mechanism also having supply and exhaust connections.

ln a rotary engine, the combination of a easing having a base, a piston mounted in the said easing!` and carrying,r a series of Y rejectable arms, packing-strips held by tie arms l and in part lhaving side projections. With inwardly-inelined laces, and a packing-strip extending` transversely aeross the base for eoiitaet with the piston, the paekiiigstrips in the arms having springs engaging the inner portions tiiereoi and forcing the same outwardly, and the packing-strip inthe base havine a spring eiigragiiig, the central outer part" thereol' and loieine the same inwardly toward the piston. f
